Thamma (2025): A Bold New Chapter in India’s Horror–Comedy Universe
Indian cinema has been experimenting beyond traditional drama and romance for the last few years, and audiences are loving the shift. Horror comedies, mythological thrillers, and supernatural adventures are quickly becoming mainstream. In that wave comes “Thamma” (2025)—a Hindi romantic-comedy-horror directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, produced under Maddock Films, and set firmly within their growing horror universe.

With a star-packed cast, Indian mythological inspiration, and modern supernatural storytelling, Thamma is shaping up to be one of 2025’s most hyped releases.
✅ Story: When Mythology Crashes Into Modern Life
The film introduces a world where ancient supernatural races—especially vampires—still follow forgotten laws and dark rituals.
At the center of the story is Alok Goyal, played by Ayushmann Khurrana—a simple journalist whose life is anything but exciting… until he meets Tadaka (Rashmika Mandanna), a mysterious woman tied to forces far older than civilization.
Things spiral when Alok crosses paths with Yakshasan—a powerful and unpredictable vampire leader played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui. An accident leads to Alok being bitten, turning him into a supernatural being—a Betal—setting off a dangerous chain of events that could change the fate of humanity.
Unlike typical horror flicks, Thamma blends:
✅ Horror
✅ Comedy
✅ Romance
✅ Mythology
✅ Social commentary
Themes of reincarnation, ancient curses, and blood feuds mix with modern issues like identity, morality, and power. Even the backdrop of the Partition finds space in the narrative, adding unexpected depth.
✅ Cast & Performances
The film brings together a rare trio:
-
Ayushmann Khurrana as Alok — naïve, funny, emotional, and later, fearlessly supernatural
-
Rashmika Mandanna as Tadaka — enigmatic, powerful, romantic, and unpredictable
-
Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Yakshasan — dangerous yet charismatic vampire leader
Early buzz praises Ayushmann’s transformation scenes and comic timing. Rashmika’s mysterious character brings charm and tension, while Nawazuddin delivers the kind of intense screen presence only he can.
